Alex maintained that speaking about the “Troubles” in Ireland, was descriptive of bad stuff going on, while my American use of the word “Problem” implied the exsistence of a solution.

THE AMAZING HUMAN BODY

It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

One human hair can support 6.6 pounds.

The average man’s penis is two times the length of his thumb.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.

Women blink twice as often as men.

Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
